Options/Display - Shape information

Liahuro

Hi Cadence Community, I have my first question in this forum. In IC5.1 there was an option to display shape information in the corner of the screen. This is a "Shape information" check-box. When we move cursor touch any object then at the corner of current window will show all information of shape as : Layer-Shape(rectangle, polygon,..) How can I make this thing with skill code? Please help me know. Thanks, Q

    Sorry, my assumption was that you wanted to implement this in SKILL because you couldn't find it in IC61X. I was trying to save you the effort by showing you something similar (and better) in IC613/IC614. I don't know what version you're using, but if using these versions, I'd suggest you try it - I already explained how to enable it!

    If you're using IC5141, you already have it, so not sure why you need to write your own SKILL code.

    As Lawrence said, there's no way to do it with a "mouse over" because there's no event for that in SKILL. You could display info on selection, by using the leRegUserObjectSelectionFilter which allows you to register a trigger on selection.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
